S320 v. SRT-4. (Hey, a race is a race)

So I get to a stoplight tonight, on the way home from work, lined up next to a modded SRT-4. I look over and make eye contact with the driver (typical SRT-4 guy if you know what I mean).

I knew that the guy was up for it, and the SRT-4 is miles faster than a S320, especially at low speeds, but it was still fun. Light goes green, he lays into it pretty good, I go WOT to try and keep up with him. He gets to about 40-45 and lays off, I pass him and hold off at about 50-55. And that's how it ended.

Hey, beggars can't be choosers!

Problem with SRT-4's is that you can never really tell what sort of mods they're rocking. I happened to run into a stage 1 Srt-4. I had him good till about 95mph where he slowly passed me. Their displacement / bigger turbo than mine just does it.

Yeah, I've beaten a few in my day...however, there are some around here that are running in the 11's which is pretty damn fast.

Most SRT's in my area have a blowoff valve and nasty exhaust...increased boost

I think I read the new Caliber SRT-4 (Neon SRT-4 replacement) has even more power this time around from factory.

I think his will have to be labeled "Wurst flyby" or something similar.

Hey now!!

All I've gotta do is find something old and weak and race it.....like a 4.1 powered (or maybe I should say underpowered) Cadillac.

Just bustin' your ***** a little. If you make it down to Florida, I'll break out my wife's Expedition and we can do a few runs. I'll even tow a 6,000# boat to even things up a little bit.
